| Nov 27, 2018 at 11:00 | comment | added | Amadeus | @user57423 Fair enough. Personally I write in silence and enjoy it; the only time I listen to music while writing is specifically as an imagination aid; if I have some specific kind of music in the bg of my scene that is noticed by the MC, or music is being actively enjoyed by the MC. But the OP is a teen, and teens (to me) are particularly obsessed with music as a defining theme of their social lives, I think it is helping them figure out who they are as adults. Much more so (imo) than adults with jobs, spouses and children. So I am thinking of an answer the OP can accept. | |

| Nov 26, 2018 at 21:17 | comment | added | Amadeus | You say classical and lo-fi don't help you concentrate, but obviously the music you are selecting isn't helping you concentrate either, since it is distracting you. I'd suggest you listen to music in a language you don't understand; the "distraction" you feel may be your brain parsing language (the lyrics), competing with "writing" which is also a function of language, internal listening and parsing of language. What you need is music without lyrics (instrumentals), or with lyrics you cannot automatically understand. | |

Original had no capital letters! Fixed a couple other minor things.

| Nov 26, 2018 at 17:50 | comment | added | Thomas Reinstate Monica Myron | In it's current form, this question is very opinion-based, as Ash pointed out. I believe it can be salvaged if you edit it to ask how to stay focused on your writing, and use your particular case as an example. Before doing so, search for similar questions. They might have the answers you need. | |
